eBook: The ABCs of Network Visibility

The concepts of network visibility, network monitoring, and network blind spots help you understand what is happening on your network. While some of the terms can be intimidating at first, straightforward definitions eliminate the confusion. Read this book, which is a compilation of blog posts from Ixia network visibility experts, to get a quick and clear understanding of the terminology associated with network monitoring. Over 20 terms are explained. In addition, examples throughout the text provide ideas on how the concepts can be useful to IT networks. See for yourself how easy it is to become a network monitoring expert.

Solution Brief: Get More Value and Extend the Useful Life of Your Security and Monitoring Tools

A well-designed visibility architecture is the low-cost way to significantly maximize the ROI of your security and monitoring tools while increasing the overall value of your monitoring solution. Visibility architectures also allow for immediate inline and out-ofband access points to check for network security intrusions. Ixia has the right type of visibility equipment to help you maximize your ROI. This includes a full range of copper and fiber taps, bypass switches, virtual data center and cloud taps, inline packet brokers for high availability solutions, and out-of-band packet brokers for all of your other monitoring needs.

A properly constructed visibility architecture saves money in both the short and long run. Engage all the processing capacity of your tools and enable them to work for you longer. A good visibility architecture makes your applications and security stronger

A properly constructed visibility architecture enables rapid response capabilities and make your applications stronger against cyber threats. In a time of crisis, whether it is a security attack or network failure, a rapid response creates a faster MTTR that directly equates to monetary savings.

Ixia Visibility for the Enterprise Brochure

Are users complaining “the network is slow?” Or “Skype isn’t working?” Is your security team chasing too many false positives? Will your data center investment produce the return on investment (ROI) your executive e-staff expects? Stronger applications, tighter security, and higher returns on your IT investment all hinge on being able to see inside your network. Only with total visibility across your physical and virtual networks can your teams—and your tools—make exactly the right decisions at exactly the right time.

White Paper: Evaluating Inline Security Fabric Key Considerations

Monitoring requires processing an exploding amount of data. Your security infrastructure must be strong enough to protect your assets and data, and efficient enough to not impact network or application response time. Your security solutions should have the features and options to get maximum value from your security budget. Ixia offers a Security Fabric with all that, plus the ability to monitor traffic everywhere in your network, context-aware intelligence to optimize tool performance, and self-healing resiliency to completely recover from any tool failure.

The modern application is complex. We know because at Ixia, we have been testing equipment, networks, and applications for decades. As an enterprise, you rely on your development teams to have depth of knowledge across a wide range of technology areas that includes application and threat vulnerabilities. Tracking the latest message board alerts—from the operating system, to the software development environment, to threat and connectivity attack methods— requires multiple focused teams. You have one team and it is under constant pressure to fix bugs faster to meet delivery schedules. But you have a failsafe way to make sure apps rushed to completion do not introduce vulnerabilities…right?

White Paper: IxVision Eliminating Visibility and Security Blind Spots

Every business relies on critical applications that are connected in some way. Business customers and users simply expect anytime, anywhere access to all these applications. IT’s challenge is to make sure the infrastructure that delivers these critical applications is reliable, fast andsecure. But this level of reliability, performance, and security can be a real challenge. It requires changes to the way IT monitors, manages, and ultimately controls the infrastructure used in application delivery.

White Paper: Security Force Multiplier

Enterprise security isn’t a fair fight. A hacker only needs to exploit a single vulnerability, but the enterprise security team must protect every potential attack vector. The statistics reflect the dire situation with the explosion of both new attacks and attack surface:• Nearly one million new malware threats are released every dayi• 71% of exploits are for known vulnerabilities with patches that have been available for a year or morei• Over 1,000 new applications are released every day on Apple’s AppStoreii

Data Sheet: Security Without Sacrifice

Amplify your security without changing a cable. Vision ONE provides IT operations the ability to secure any traffic in their network. ision ONE acts as the first step to security, providing reliable inline connectivity for security tools such as intrusion prevention systems (IPS), data loss prevention (DLP), and firewalls. It simultaneously connects monitoring tools like intrusion detection systems (IDS) and data recorders.Integrated intelligence features enable you to access encrypted traffic using SSL decryption, reduce analysis traffic using advanced packet processing, and precisely select traffic by application type, geography, and device criteria using deep packet inspection (DPI). Vision ONE forwards selected traffic in a variety of formats to interoperate with any security tool
